Kensal Green Cemetery is located in west
London, on a 72 acre (29 hectare) site bounded on the north by Harrow
Road, on the west by Scrubs Lane, on the east by Ladbroke Grove, and the
south by the Grand Union Canal.

There are two gates in daily use on
Harrow Road, and a door leading to Ladbroke Grove:

The Top Gate (just to the west of Kensal Green
Underground Station) admits both cars and pedestrians during regular
opening hours. This gate also leads to the
independent Roman Catholic cemetery of St. Mary.

The Main Gate, to the east near the junction
with Ladbroke Grove, is for pedestrians only, and generally closes
an hour before the Top Gate. This monumental structure
also houses the offices of the General
Cemetery Company.

The door on Ladbroke Grove, adjacent to the
Dissenters' Chapel, allows access to Friends' lectures
and special events when the gates are closed; this entrance is not usually open during regular cemetery
hours.

Please also note that the Upper, Royal or Queen Victoria
Gate, mid-way between the western and eastern gates, is no longer in general
use.

The nearest London Underground stations
are Kensal Green on the Bakerloo Line and Ladbroke Grove on the Hammersmith
and City Line. The cemetery is also served by buses 18,
23, 28, 52, 70, 295, 316 and 452; please use the Journey
Planner button under the map, above, to plan your journey with
Transport for London. There is limited parking in front
of the Main Gate on Harrow Road.

For tours,
please allow at least ten minutes to reach the Anglican Chapel, in the
middle of the cemetery, from any entrance.

Please note that, while the principal avenues are roughly
paved for vehicle access, most of the paths are packed earth or gravel,
and the ground throughout the cemetery is extremely uneven. Stout shoes
or boots, and extreme caution, are advised for any excursions off the
marked paths.

* Please note that the Main Gate and Ladbroke Grove
entrance generally close at least half-an-hour before the Top Gate; closing
time is clearly posted at both gates.

Exhibitions,
lectures and special events are held in the Dissenters'
Chapel , London W10 5AA, at the east end of the cemetery,
which has a discrete entrance on Ladbroke
Grove, just north of the Grand Union Canal.
